Just a matter of time before someone backs into it...

monster · 05-05-2009, 10:52 PM

true, dat....

but it's the UK, so they'll apologise and leave a note under the windscreen wiper. if they can find it.

It's a shame it only works from one viewing spot.

with a little more technology, the 'one viewing angle' problem can be solved. http://science.howstuffworks.com/inv....htm/printable

Well that makes us windows users really clear on the subject. How about in English?

He meant "greenscreen", for the ubiquitous background hung behind both weather reporters and gazillion dollar Hollywood stars so that digital imagery can be inserted into the scene.
